Laravel Meta Tags

With this package you can manage header Meta and OG Tags from Laravel controllers. Kept up to date for the latest Laravel versions.

While there is a few forks of this original package this is the only one kept updated for Laravel 5.4!

Latest package version: 5.4.3

Current supported Laravel version: 5.4.*

Now with schema.org generation


Installation

From the command line run

$ composer require kekoapp/laravel-meta-tags

Once Meta Tags is installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up config/app.php and find the providers key.

'providers' => array(

    KekoApp\LaravelMetaTags\MetaTagsServiceProvider::class,

)

Meta Tags also ships with a facade which provides the static syntax for creating collections. You can register the facade in the aliases key of your config/app.php file.

'aliases' => array(

    'MetaTag'   => KekoApp\LaravelMetaTags\Facades\MetaTag::class,

)

Publish the configurations

Run this on the command line from the root of your project:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="KekoApp\LaravelMetaTags\MetaTagsServiceProvider"

A configuration file will be publish to config/meta-tags.php.

Twitter Cards and OpenGraph

Various settings for these options can be found in the config/meta-tags.php file.

Twitter Cards

{!! MetaTag::twitterCard() !!}

OpenGraph

{!! MetaTag::openGraph() !!}

Schema.org

{!! MetaTag::schemaOrg() !!}
